Google's Pixel 2 XL, Pixel 2 XL, and Pixel 2 XL have been the most popular Android phones. They're gorgeous, feature-packed devices that deliver a flawless user experience in every way.
The Pixel is the best Android phone you can buy, thanks to its excellent camera, long software update cycle and slick Google software. It's water-resistant, has the best processor in its class, so you can run both apps and games.
It isn't as stylish as the iPhone. It has two big bezels around the display, which makes it less sexy than its rivals and doesn't have a headphone jack.
Google may have abandoned dual cameras and ultra-thin bezels for a more minimalist design, but it's wise to stay away from the big boys in aesthetics. Pixel 2 will also be perfect for minimalist design.
As it stands now, it is one of best Android phones that you can purchase today - in some ways, it even surpasses the iPhone X. It's an impressively solid smartphone with a fantastic camera, Google Lens, and three years of guaranteed updates, making it our pick for the best phone you can buy in 2018.
Camera Quality
The Pixel 2 has a very good camera that produces incredibly accurate exposures indoors and in bright light, even in low-light conditions. Although it can be difficult to see luminance noise, the Pixel 2's images are very detailed.
Despite having a single lens, the autofocus performance of the Pixel is fast and accurate. The Pixel's dynamic range can be used to take wide-angle or telephoto photos.
Its color reproduction is excellent, with vibrant and natural colors across the spectrum, even in a bright room. The Pixel's image stabilization is also very good, though it's not as smooth as on a dual-lens device like the iPhone 8 Plus.
Battery Life
The Pixel's battery can last up to 24 hours on one charge, even when you are using heavy apps or playing games. It also offers the same stellar battery management we've come used to from Google.
Sense 6
The Sense 6 interface is Google's modernized take on Android that brings together many of the latest features and functions into an intuitive and seamless package. It supports Music Detection and Airplane Mode, as well as an always-on lockscreen.
A new Ghost mode allows you to scroll down to see the entire home screen even when the display is off. There's also a "Find my Phone", which helps you locate your phone.
The smartphone is also the first phone with an Always-On display. It displays missed messages and notifications when your screen's off. However, you can disable it if that's not what you want.
The Pixel is equipped with a highly responsive fingerprint reader. You can quickly unlock it without touching the display. The battery life is excellent, if it's not the longest.
